3 hours have passed since I got off the plane. My husband and child were 5 years old for a week in Greece and the Portes Hotel. Only the best impressions and memories from the country. Greeks are similar in mentality and character to Russian people.
The hotel itself caused some disappointment in its declared star rating, It's exactly 3 with + or 4 with -.
1. I’ll start with the hotel, it’s not new and it feels like the owner invested in it in 199 years....and then forgot about it, compared to the neighboring Potidea hotel, it’s also 4 * heaven and earth. Apparently Greece. crisis, there is a feeling that they are saving a lot on the hotel, although there are a lot of Germans, Serbs, Romanians, Bulgarians, Russians. Mix in one bottle. For me it was not a minus.

2. Food. There are no complaints here. I put a solid 4 plus. There was always meat, fish, fruits, apples, watermelons, peaches and melons. Lots of vegetables, delicious cheeses and cottage cheese products... There were themed evenings (Chinese and Greek) dinner is the food of these countries. In general, everything was tasty and varied. We were never hungry.
3. The sea is 5 plus, although there were hedgehogs, but somehow we skillfully bypassed them... The main thing is not to walk especially on slabs and stones.
4. Evening animation is not what. A couple of times there was a live concert for a threesome and an evening show (with the participation of the vacationers themselves). In the afternoon, gymnastics by the pool, water polo and darts and bocha at the edge of the pool. That's it !! ! YES, there is a children's disco on 20 minutes and then in German. Draw conclusions.
5. There is a shop at the hotel, it has a minimum of everything that you might need on vacation. There is a cute village of Potidea at 1 km, everything is there! At 5 km there is the village of Mudanya, cute, beautiful, delicious coffee in a cafe on the waterfront. hotel bus goes there (free of charge)
6. In general, we really liked Greece... but the hotel, again, does not pull on 4 *. Only thanks to the cooks, bartenders, waiters and ordinary Greeks, the rest will be remembered for a long time!
Have a good rest and a good tan.
